Today I visited La Casa Azul - Frida Kahlo’s Home turned Museum - and I left inspired, humbled, and desperate to learn more. I’m no expert on her life (yet) but what I can say, is that for someone who’s odds were stacked against her since birth, battling multiple health issues and of course, later suffering the horrible bus accident; she invited every day with strength, optimism, passion, and a deep appreciation for life itself. It’s incredible that after all she went through, she was not discouraged to look into the mirror and paint what she saw and didn’t see. She proudly embraced mirrors, she embraced her culture, she embraced her time, and she embraced her Diego. She was, and is, the embodiment of the phrase “Viva La Vida.”
